Disability Insurance

Disability Insurance

If you need a paycheck, you need disability insurance

There are many components to financial security, but an individual’s ability to work and earn an income is what makes everything else possible. People insure their homes, cars and personal property, yet they often fail to consider insuring the one thing that makes all those things possible – their income.

How solid is your foundation?

When someone is too sick or hurt to work, the bills don't stop. Plus, there may be additional expenses for medical treatment or assistance. Many believe the government will support them, but average amount of time it takes to collect Social Security disability benefits, if you qualify, is more than a year. Employer policies are usually taxable, leaving less income to go around. Are you confident your family would survive?

A disability plan can help:

Individuals

Provide personal income protection for everyday living expenses

Allow you to continue saving for retirement

Businesses

Reimburse owners for fixed business expenses

Keep business value intact by funding the buyout of a disabled owner

Help businesses offset the loss of a key employee
